Hey everyone actually I have spare server sitting in Hetzner doing basically nothing right now (´・ω・｀) 4 cores, 8GB, 500GB SSD, unmetered 1Gbps was thinking maybe I can offer free hosting for community project?? Something actually good for everyone, not just my minecraft server lol
Conditions:
- must be legal obviously
- open source or public benefit
- I handle server, you handle project
What you got?? Drop proposals below (´・ω・｀)
Hey folks, just a heads up — this is a cool offer, but remember our hosting provider rules still apply even for "free" arrangements. No warez, no crypto mining, no bulletproof hosting. I'll be watching the thread, so keep it clean.
